Welcome!

Welcome to our group! This hike is part of a series of day hikes offered year round. Established 15 years ago in 2003, we are the most consistent hiking group in Utah, hiking every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday of the year! Join us on 100’s of trails in our outdoor playground known as the Wasatch Mountains. Hike a new trail nearly every week and meet new people. Changing seasons and weather patterns make it fun too! Expect a kind, caring, friendly attitude when you arrive. Local day hikes are just the beginning! Join us on MANY exciting, adventure trips, near and far! People discover us online and by word of mouth. Changes are rarely made after a hike is posted, however, due to weather, road, trail and/or canyon conditions beyond our control, we reserve the right to change things at the last minute. Need to meet us somewhere other than our meeting place? Let us know in advance. Hikes are rarely ever canceled. Thanks and we hope to see you soon!

This is a free event!

BST: Bonneville Shoreline Trail. We rarely cancel so plan to come even if details are not posted. Generally all of our weekly local hikes finish before 12 noon UNLESS stated otherwise. You are always invited to do a shortened version of this hike if you prefer. We want to help you feel as comfortable and welcome as possible on the first of many hikes with us.

Disclaimer:

All of our weekly hikes are subject to change without notice due to conditions beyond our control (i.e. weather, road, trail or canyon conditions).Changes may be made at our 6200 South meeting place prior to leaving for the trail. It doesn't happen often but contact me to confirm where we are going IF you want to meet us anywhere other than our regular meeting place.

Timeline

8:00 AM

Start gathering

There is a 30 minute window for hikers to arrive. Join us for a short pre-hike meeting as we greet everyone, introduce new hikers, go over final instructions, address any concerns, arrange carpools, and announce upcoming events.

8:30 AM

Drive to trailhead

Hikers are encouraged to gather at our meeting place, not the trailhead in case there is a last minute change of plans. If you need to meet us at the trailhead, text me by 8 AM so you'll be informed if there has been a change.

9:00 AM

Arrive at trailhead, start hiking

The trailhead is generally within 10 - 30 minutes from our 6200 South meeting place UNLESS otherwise stated. Generally there is limited parking at the trailheads so carpool as much as possible. Some trailheads have a bathroom, many do not. If you would like to do a shorter hike, let me know before we leave the meeting place since others may want to join you. This happens very often so tell me and I'll help you find some compatible hiking buddies!

12:00 PM

Off the trail

Off the trail between 11:30 AM - 12 noon, depending on the hike. If it is an Out and Back trail, we generally turn around to head back down the mountain by 10:30 AM. There is always a variety of hikers moving at different speeds which is exactly what we want. Come often and get to know fellow hikers with similar abilities.

Meet Sheryl

Hi, I'm Sheryl McGlochlin, and I love people! I believe everyone comes with plenty of baggage and it's all good! Even those who are harder to love have taught me so much about myself. I have a passion for life and I hate wasting a moment of it. I have been blessed with plenty of energy and enthusiasm. I know there is great healing power in being active outdoors surrounded by nature, and my deepest desire is to help others discover that. My faith in God and the feeling of His great love for me, my family, and my friends are what make me excited to get up each morning. I look forward to meeting you soon!
